Correspondence from Catherine Bathurst to Amabel Hume Campbell.

c. 1830-1833

From: 1830 To: 1833

Lady Catherine Bathurst (died 1837) was the daughter of Henry Bathurst, 2nd Earl Bathurst and his second wife, Tryphena, daughter of Thomas Scawen. Catherine’s siblings were: 1. Hon Henry Bathurst, later 3rd Earl Bathurst: married Lady Georgina Lennox and had the following children:- a. Lady Emily Charlotte Bathurst d. 1877. Married Sir Frederick Cavendish Ponsonby. Their children were i. Selina Barbara Wilhelmina Ponsonby d. 22 Jul 1919 ii. General Rt. Hon. Sir Henry Frederick Ponsonby b. 10 Dec 1825, d. 21 Nov 1895 b. Lady Georgina Bathurst d. 1874 c. Henry George Bathurst, 4th Earl Bathurst of Bathurst b. 1790, d. 1866 d. William Lennox Bathurst, 5th Earl Bathurst of Bathurst b. 1791, d. 1878 e. Lt.-Col. Hon. Thomas Seymour Bathurst b. 1793, d. 1834 f. Hon. Charles Bathurst b. 1802, d. 1842. Married Lady Emily Caroline Bertie, daughter of Montagu Bertie, 5th Earl of Abingdon in July 1830 2. Hon Apsley Bathurst, Joint Clerk of the Crown (b. 1769; d. Jan 1816) 3. Lady Tryphena Bathurst (d. 1834) 4. Lady Selina Letitia Bathurst (d. 1827) 5. Lady Susannah Bathurst (d. 8 Mar 1847) Most of the letters are undated. All are addressed to Lady de Grey, the title given to Amabel Hume Campbell in 1816. Amabel died in 1833, so this provides a wide date range of 1816-1833. However, evidence from the contents of some of the letters suggests a narrower range, perhaps c.1830-1833.
